I wish it would have snowed here so I could at least go home early from work. We are not busy and it is very boring right now.

@zomgname, you can keep the ice where you are but send up the snow, lol. My area was included in that 2009 ice storm and it was a terrible mess here. I don't think I want to see ice for a long, long time.

Good Morning All...hope everyone has the best Monday possible!!! At least I'll get vape mail today...only good thing about Mondays, if you ask me...LOL! :)

Ooo! Thanks for reminding me...I might get vape mail today also!!! I'm all out of my fruit flavors and should get my order either today or tomorrow. As you said, that would be the ONLY good thing about it being Monday.

lol... yeah, I can see how that advice would be helpful (not so much!) to the old willpower. Is there something specific that bothers him about your vaping? I've run into issues with people saying the same, and I just tell em that its safe, makes me happy, ensures I stay off the cigs (I'm close to two years quit.... longest I ever stayed quit with old methods like cold turkey was a year) after an 18 year habit, and its not hurting anyone. Plus, makes my house smell awesome! Lets see...

*You could tell him its a beneficial thing because just think of all the money you're saving on scented candles! Or..um...well, its less silly than some 'manly' pasttimes.

*You're not painting your face in wacky colors, donning gigantic foam finger, and screaming incessantly at large men in tights plowing into each other on the TV screen! ;)...football fanatics

*You're not wearing a fez and getting together with other like minded wackadoodles to do archaic rituals and have bingo nights...shriners

*You're not spending thousands of dollars a year to belong to a club where you wander around attacking grass at random intervals wearing short pants and a funny hat....golfers

That's all i've got...maybe somebody else will come up with some more intelligent responses. ;)

No, there's nothing specific he has against me vaping. He's actually the one who found e-cigs and then told me about it while I was unsuccessfully trying to quit smoking. We just don't know anyone else locally that vapes so he wonders if I am over doing it. We finally did run across some folks down here at the new e-cig store that opened up near where we live and they were taking a hit or two and then setting it down for 10 minutes or so and then repeating. So in the car on the way home he says to me, "See I think you are supposed to put the e-cig down for a while and then come back to it" lol Now that just makes me sound awful, but while I am at my computer or doing my homework I pick it up without realizing that I'm doing it until after say the 3rd hit. I don't chain vape quite so much now that I have working attys. Then he says, "I can appreciate that you now have people to talk to about this new habit of yours, but to the rest of us 'non-users' the conversation is mindnumbingly boring." Now you just know that if we'd found these earlier, then he'd be vaping with me. I suppose its a good thing he's not because then I'd have to share my maple french toast with him and hell that's not gonna happen!

Speaking of, I am now vaping some really not so good root beer liquid. Come on french toast! Just kidding Annette, I know you have lots of other addicts to supply as well....I'm in no hurry really. Just wanted to express my dislike for the root beer. I have some Amaretto left that should hold me over until french toast time :)

Wow, Tyleris! That close to the grand canyon must have been just majestic! One of the things I dislike so much about being laid up with stupid pain disorder is I can't get out and about hiking now that I'm in this amazing place to hike! Aww well, One day!

And Serenity... if it makes you feel any better.. or your hub for that matter, i use a passthrough 99% of the time (works great for me since i'm home vast majority of time) and i swear, that thing is never more than a foot from me. I vape heavily. LOVE IT! And its also proven that the 'sucking' action of drawing on a cig or pv actually increases oxygen flow to your brain, so thats a good thing! lol You can tell him vaping is making you smarter! rofl But seriously, even though there aren't that many vapers in your area, in areas where there are, its a pretty constant companion. There's LOADS of Hookah bars here in Mesa/Phoenix. Really wild. You go in and there's these gigantic multiperson hookah's in wild colors (always makes me think of Alice in wonderland Catapillar.. 'Whoooooo are yoooouuuu???"), and you pick your flavor (just like vaping) and go to town. All sorts of people sitting around and talking and writing and studying...all vaping away like mad! ;) Think Starbucks only more eclectic and with vaping instead of caffeine.

The VV Rootbeer isn't doing it for ya? I really liked it, but the texture threw me off. rofl I never realized how much of my enjoyment of rootbeer was because of the effervescence and not the taste. I liked it a lot, but not on my list of faves. Didja get the ice cream with it? And I still need to try that Bella Amaretto. Thats one that i'm dying to get to, but hasn't happened yet. And now I'm trying to get larger bottles of my faves, since I LONG for things once they're gone. I just got a big order of Buttercream mint since at least 3x a day since my sampler ran out, I'd think 'boy... I'd really love some Buttercream Mint right now!'. I got a 'cream cheese mint' in my samplers w artificial flavors from another vendor in my foiled attempt to find artificial juices that would work at high voltages.. Can we just say NOT THE SAME? lol SSOOOOO much worse than Annette's! Finally gave in and ordered a big bottle of that and the Mango Mint Julep, and hoping to grab the others i need at first opportunity. ;)

Morning VVs, and welcome Emmajo! About the Rootbeer/Float. Try it again in a few weeks. I didn't like it that much when I first got it and put it on the back burner. Then I was running out of everything and had to break it back out and WOW! It had morphed into a whole other juice. I loved it! Especially with the float option. I still need to order more of that.

Nope this isn't Annette's Root Beer Float, this is root beer from the local guy with the artificial flavors in it. My stash from Annette is gone except for about half a sampler bottle of KCM and a little over half of a 1/4 oz bottle of Amaretto - its very tragic. Figured I'd try this root beer to make Annette's juices last longer, but it's not as good as Annette's juice. Tastes kinda like the pop cap candy...not sure what those are called.

I'm over here putting my big order to Annette together. You know cause I'm paranoid about running out of juice now that I know the pain of vaping something other than VV juice. So I'm thinking I need a stocking stuffer pack and about 3 full size bottles. For some reason I think I NEED a big bottle of the Amaretto, Vanilla Peach Swirl, and Caramel Kona Coffee. I'm also going to try the Mango Mint Julep, Butter Cream Mint, Kir Royale, Pumpkin Pie, Egg Nog, Pecan Pie, Sweet Tea, Mint Chocolate Chip (my favorite ice cream flavor) and hmmm decisions....decisions And do I really need 2 big bottles of French Toast or can that wait until after the first of the year? lol Can you tell I'm totally addicted?

Woozers Serenity, that's a huge order, wish I could do that! I'd love to go to Annette's site and just order up a storm and try everything I've been wanting to try but I have to do it in stages and still re-order my favs. At this rate it will be years before I get to try it all...lol. Sampler pack bottles last me a few hours, so that is never a good option for me especially when I love the flavor and poof it's gone!

I know the feeling well Deb, I've got an "out for delivery" notice on USPS for my Creme Caramel, hope it really does show up today 'cause I'm missing it badly. I've only had one bad delivery notice from them, and it wasn't the notice they just put my juice in my neighbor's lockbox by mistake. He brought it right over to me. I can't complain about the PO here in Colorado Springs except they deliver to us around 6PM at night! What is so weird is how some things get here so quickly from across the country and things from a few states over take longer????

Yes, I know it's just awful. I won't be able to order again until Jan. 27th though, does that make me sound like less of an addict? NOT! I'm also paranoid about running out of things, especially things I LOVE. I've discovered that I'm not the type to commit to a flavor all day, I have to rotate them throughout the day. I've also found that my choice of flavors is totally dependent on the season. Last month I was all about a DIY caramel apple flavor and this month I put together a DIY hot coco candy cane flavor. I'm also working on a cranberry DIY flavor, but I can't seem to get it worked out. Annette is SO much better at juice making than I am. I can't wait to try the eggnog and pumpkin pie. This past summer I found myself vaping a lot of tropical fruit and melon flavors. Some of the sample flavors I'd like to get, I probably won't order large bottles of until later on next year when I hit my fruit loving stage again lol

Some of the stocking stuffer flavors I get are likely going to be used for a meet and greet that my local vaping group is having. I must spread the joy of VV juice.

Orachel, hmmm Mesa, huh? That's like just next door to me, just sayin. lol

rofl...Land of Entrapment. Just noticed that! Too cute. Not overly enchanted, are ya? ;) Yup, you are close! If you ever get out my way, you'll have to give me a yodel. ;)

BTW, I'm totally worried about my VV stuff. I've got 2 big bottles coming since that's about all I can afford right now with xmas brouhaha, but like you I'm taking some to my local VIP (Vaping in Phoenix) xmas get together, and I know its gonna get snatched up! rofl I wanted a bunch more, and also to get some stocking stuffers for part of my gift for gift xchange at the xmas get together, but just nooot in the budget right now. Sigh. rofl But will grab the other ones I need at very first opportunity. And must remember to leave decent chunk at home when i go to the vape party, otherwise I'll be tackling people who try to take the last of my Mango Mint Julep! ;)

I'm glad its not the VV Rootbeer! lol Its not my very fave, but that's just preference on my part and lack of fizz. Couldn't figure out how you could dislike it enough not to want to vape it, because Annettes is pretty danged good. ;)

And good suggestion, Joanr! I'm gonna grab it back out since last few ml in bottle have been steeping for a while since i got into it last. ;)

I just placed my big order for a "stocking stuffer" and a few large bottles of my must haves, and also am taking the plunge on the Eco Kona velvet milkshake and Eco Butter cream mint. I haven't tried any Eco flavors yet. The stocking stuff is full of everything I've wanted to try but haven't yet. I justified my order as my birthday present to myself. Selfish maybe, but I'm allowed once a year lol

here, here! After all, you know what you want. ;) You gotta let us know how those eco's are! I've never tried any vv's, and i just tried a tiny sample called 'eco pure' that a friend sent me...don't even know the vendor. But its pretty intriguing! Gotta try some of annettes soon as I can manage it.
